On Sunday morning, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, President of Fidesz, adopted the “Patriotic Manifesto for the Future of Europe” in Vienna, alongside Herbert Kickl, President of the Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ), and Andrej Babiš, former Czech Prime Minister and President of the ANO (Action of Dissatisfied Citizens) party.
Key Points from the Manifesto
Historical Turning Point:
The manifesto declares that Europe is at a historic turning point, asserting that the European Union, once a beacon of reconciliation and unity, now stands against the interests of European nations, regions, and communities.
Critique of the EU:
The document criticizes the EU for being controlled by unelected bureaucrats and globalist forces who allegedly disregard the will of the European populace. It accuses these entities of pushing for a centralized European state that undermines national sovereignty.
New Political Dividing Line:
The manifesto states that the political divide in Europe is no longer between traditional conservatives and liberals, or right and left, but between centrists advocating for a European superstate and patriots or sovereigntists fighting to preserve national sovereignty.
Defense of European Values:
The manifesto emphasizes the importance of defending Europe's borders, stopping illegal migration, and preserving cultural identity. It frames these goals as essential for protecting the heritage of future generations.
Call for Patriotic Cooperation:
European patriotic forces pledge to return the future of the continent to its people, advocating for a united effort among sovereigntist parties to counteract the push for centralization and maintain national identities.
This manifesto signifies a concerted effort by nationalist and sovereigntist leaders in Europe to challenge the current direction of the European Union and advocate for a return to stronger national sovereignty.
